Curious to see where else a useful Isle of Man genealogy site is blocked [closed]

Question

Over the past several years I have used the Isle of Man IMuseum site https://www.imuseum.im as a useful source for a large number of Manx profiles. Their newspaper archive is particularly useful & isn't replicated on any other site that I'm aware of.

In recent weeks (possibly a couple of months) the site has stopped responding for me (and others) in Australia, but I'm now reliably informed it still works fine for folks in the UK. Is the geo-blocking only to Australia or are folks elsewhere also unable to access it?

If it is widespread, I foresee squillions of broken link errors being flagged on Wikitree.

Answer 1

Works for me in the US.

Answer 2

Working OK in Malaga, Spain. Have you tried using a VPN?

Answer 3

Not working for me in Australia 

Answer 4

The site has been having problems off and on for a while now. The Isle of Man family history society on Facebook occasionally has updates.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/466196900237509/

Thanks Nancy - I've requested to join their group & will see if they can shed any light on the mystery.

Answer 5

Thanks for feedback folks - I joined the FB Isle of Man Family History Group and there were numerous posts there about the problem which has persisted for several weeks - apparently work done to improve service to UK has had "unintended consequences" for several countries which they are working with their IT folks to remedy.
